Maybe the edge of a glass door or window?

I have sometimes seen this where the face and the (polished) edge of the glass act as a prism. This can't be the whole story, because there are two spectra. If you see it again, you may be able to work out where it's coming from by moving your hand to cast a shadow over it.

excuse the crumbs/ shumozzles/ mess

Borris used to eat up here because Tibby had to have the special urinary tract heath biscuits and Tibby was a good boy and never tried to jump up

any way this is from a crystal hanging in the kitchen window

I can contribute to orange! My spessartite garnet from mastercut gems with side tsavorite and demantoid leaves :). It makes me smile to wear it.

OMG it's an actual orange ORANGE! That is the coolest ring ever... thank you for sharing him!! I'm trying to get more creative with my gem pairings and designs too. You clearly have an eye for it!

YELLOW is next!
